TORONTO, [Current Date] – Great news for fans of compelling legal dramas! Global has officially announced the renewal of the hit Canadian series, Family Law, for a fourth season. This popular show, which has captivated audiences with its engaging storylines and talented cast, is set to return with 10 brand new episodes. Production for Season 4 is scheduled to commence in Vancouver in March 2024, promising more of the family and legal entanglements that viewers have come to love.
The series, a creation of award-winning Canadian author Susin Nielsen, is produced by SEVEN24 Films and Lark Productions. Ahead of the much-anticipated Season 3 premiere later this year, the renewal announcement underscores the show’s strong performance and growing fanbase both in Canada and internationally. Season 3 is expected to further build upon the success of the previous seasons, setting the stage for an exciting Season 4.
Troy Reeb, Executive Vice President, Networks and Content, highlighted the significance of this renewal, stating, “As a Top 20 hit for Global and the number one Canadian scripted series last summer, currently airing on the CW in the U.S. and in many other markets internationally, this renewal today demonstrates the success of our original content at home and abroad. We are thrilled to continue telling the stories of Abby and the Svensson family for another season and to keep audiences entertained as they navigate new cases and their personal lives.” This statement reflects the broad appeal of Family Law TV and its contribution to Global’s successful original programming lineup.
Season 4 of Family Law TV will see the return of the stellar cast, including Jewel Staite as Abigail Bianchi, Victor Garber as Harry, Zach Smadu as Daniel, Genelle Williams as Lucy, and Lauren Holly. Viewers can expect Abigail to navigate even more complex and intriguing legal cases while balancing her demanding career with family dynamics and personal relationships. The Svensson family, including Harry and Abigail’s half-siblings Daniel and Lucy, will also face their own unique challenges, adding layers of personal drama to their professional lives at the firm.
The upcoming season promises to delve into a range of contemporary and thought-provoking legal scenarios. Family Law TV is known for tackling unconventional cases, and Season 4 will continue this trend, exploring themes such as surrogacy, parental liability, and the evolving concept of “rental families.” These storylines will not only provide compelling legal drama but also offer opportunities to explore the complexities of modern family structures within the framework of the law.
